Board approves second reading of 10 student policies, including records, nondiscrimination and immunization rules
Summary
The Monticello school board approved on second reading ten policies ranging from student records and immunization requirements to hazing prohibition and the use of peace officers for removal of students with IEPs. The motion passed 4–0.
The Monticello Public School District board on Monday approved on second reading a set of 10 policies covering student records, nondiscrimination, safety and related topics.
Rob Daneker, director of human resources, presented the second readings. The package included policy 515 (Protection and Privacy of Pupil Records), 519 (Interviews of Students by Outside Agencies), 521 (Student Disability Nondiscrimination — Section 504), 525 (Violence Prevention), 526 (Hazing Prohibition), 528 (Student Parental, Family and Marital Status Nondiscrimination), 529 (Staff Notification of Violent Behavior by Students), 530 (Immunization Requirements), 531 (Pledge of Allegiance) and 532 (Use of Peace Officers and Crisis Teams to Remove Students with IEPs).
Daneker said the policies were brought forward as part of the district’s review cycle and, in some cases, included minor legislative updates from last year. He described policy 515 as a substantial document governing student data and records, and said policy 531 (Pledge of Allegiance) was proposed with no substantive changes.
Board members praised the policy committee’s monthly work and the administrative support for preparing comparative drafts and legal consultation. The second readings were moved by Casey Root, seconded by Jeff Hegley, and approved by voice vote, 4–0.
Board materials indicate the district used the MSBA drafts for comparison and consulted district legal counsel where appropriate. Daneker and policy committee staff said the committee meets monthly to review about 10–12 policies per meeting and prepares the materials for board consideration.
